Locked Hard Drive

[hikosj]

Hi all, I just successfully unlocked the bios on a dell latitude d800 using the shorting method. But now I have another problem. The hard drive has a password too, can someone please help with this issue.


Thanks

be specific

What OS is on this computer? I am not familiar with any software/mechanism to lock out the hard drive. If Win98, create new user and password. If XP, safe mode may not be protected by password. Create admin login in safe mode. Programs exist to crack passwords. Good luck.

Um usually you unlock a hard drive by installing the drive onto the motherboard it was locked with and remove any admin/user password from the motherboard.
